UNDERGRADUATE PROGRAM REVISION

SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Academic Standards for Business Majors Executive Summary: The School of Business proposes making the following changes in the core curriculum:

• Remove BUS 220, Dynamics of Professional Success (1 credit hour), and BUS 305, Business Statistics II (three credit hours), from the prebusiness category of cornerstone and foundation courses and permit these courses to be taken with an upper-level functional course. This modification will affect all School of Business undergraduate majors.

• Separate BUS 310, Legal Environment/Finance (6 hours) into two 3-hour courses, BUS 263, Legal Environment of Business, and BUS 311, Business Finance. This modification will affect all School of Business undergraduate majors.

• Change the catalog wording in requirements for each School of Business major to reflect the change from BUS 310 to BUS 263 and BUS 311.

Rationale: The faculty of the School of Business evaluated the core curriculum and recognized that removing BUS 220 and BUS 305 from the prebusiness requirements would enhance student progress through the program. Also, the results of core assessment indicated the need to separate BUS 310, Legal Environment/Finance (6 hours), into two 3-hour courses. CURRENT CATALOG COPY

With the elimination of the minor in the new licensure guidelines, it is imperative to eliminate classes that contain repeat information, and to combine classes where multiple goals are met. This is important so that students can complete a double major in a reasonable number of years at the university. Rationale: Completion of this program gives the student teacher certification in Health Education. The curriculum needs to change in order to better prepare our students for the classrooms they will be required to lead, and in order to allow the students to maintain two majors, allowing them to be more marketable once they have completed their degree.

The new teaching standards for Health Educators indicate that the students need to show proficiency in specific areas, and meet specific criteria. For example, the new standards require students be able to use formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the learner; therefore, the biostatistics course is being added to the curriculum.

The new guidelines do not indicate that these standards and objectives have to be met through our program. The new curriculum allows the students to use their life and work experience to show competency in their ability and preparation as a Health Education Teacher; therefore, the change to the description of the Emergency Medical Care and Advanced First Aid course and Lab will be modified to reflect that students may receive their certification from a source outside the university.

CHALLENGES The following curriculum change that appeared in Academic Notes on March 19, 2001 has been challenged. A �hold� will therefore be placed on the proposal to allow the parties to seek a resolution of the objectives to the proposed changes.

DEPARTMENTAL NAME CHANGE REQUEST SCHOOL OF HEALTH & HUMAN PERFORMANCE: Health & Safety Upon recommendation of the Academic Affairs Committee, the faculty of the Department of Health and Safety has voted unanimously to change the name of the department to Department of Health, Environmental, and Safety Management. We believe the change better reflects the programs offered in our department and will prove to be beneficial in student recruitment. Currently, confusion exists about our identity. We often receive calls meant for the Student Health Services or the Office of Environmental Safety. The proposed name change identifies us as an academic department by including �Management�. It also recognizes each of the separate undergraduate programs we offer. In addition, the major part of the job positions advertised are described as Environmental Management or Environmental and Safety Management. The State agency in charge of environmental issues (equivalent to Environmental Protection Agency) is identified as the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. The Department of Health and Safety has also been in contact with the School of Business to make sure that there is no opposition to the proposed new name. Dr. Leona M. Gallion, Dean of the School, notified us that there is not opposition.

REVISIONS TO UDERGRADUATE PROGRAMS PLEASE NOTE THAT AREAS OF THE PROPOSAL THAT WERE CHANGED ARE SHOWN IN BOLD ITALICS. SCHOOL OF HEALTH & HUMAN PERFORMANCE: Health & Safety Bachelor of Science – Health and Safety [Major (Teaching Curricula)] Executive Summary: The Department of Health & Safety is proposing the following changes to its Health Education Major. The goal is to reduce the number of credit hours needed to complete the degree, and to meet the needs of the new guidelines for licensure of teachers. With the elimination of the minor in the new licensure guidelines, it is imperative to eliminate classes that contain repeat information, and to combine classes where multiple goals are met. This is important so that students can complete a double major in a reasonable number of years at the university. Summary of Proposed changes

Completion of this program gives the student teacher certification in Health Education. The curriculum needs to change in order to better prepare our students for the classrooms they will be required to lead, and in order to allow the students to maintain two majors, allowing them to be more marketable once they have completed their degree.

The new teaching standards for Health Educators indicate that the students need to show proficiency in specific areas, and meet specific criteria. For example, the new standards require students be able to use formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and ensure the continuous intellectual, social, and physical development of the learner; therefore, the biostatistics course is being added to the curriculum.

Health & Safety Major (Teaching Curricula): continued The new guidelines do not indicate that these standards and objectives have to be met through our program. The new curriculum allows the students to use their life and work experience to show competency in their ability and preparation as a Health Education Teacher; therefore, the change to the description of the Emergency Medical Care and Advanced First Aid course and Lab will be modified to reflect that students may receive their certification from a source outside the university.

Specific Course Revision Rationale:

• HLTH 313�School Health Education. Change course title from School Health Education to Comprehensive School Health Education in order to better reflect the goals and objectives of this course. Change catalog description to include additional objectives.

o New course description: The field of health science instruction as a subject of public school curricula. Includes essential preparation of the health science educator, and prepares the student to plan and implement the Comprehensive School Health Education Program.

• HLTH 320�Health Aspects of Human Ecology. Delete this course from the major

requirements. The requirements of Rule 46 are currently being met in other HLTH courses i.e., HLTH 111, HLTH 401, HLTH 402, HLTH 403, HLTH 404, HLTH 405, HLT H 406, and HLTH 392.

• HLTH 327�School Health Services. Change course title from School Health Services to School Health for the Elementary Teacher. A change in the current title is needed in order to reflect the content. Delete as a major requirement for school health education majors, add as an elective.

• HLTH 340�Health Biostatistics. Add as a requirement for the major in school health

education. A statistics course is needed to better prepare the student for scholarly work, and classroom assessment.

• HLTH 360�Epidemiology. Delete as a requirement. The content is covered in other classes currently being taught (HLTH 340 and HLTH 221).

• HLTH 400A & HLTH 400B�Delete HLTH 400A and HLTH 400B. Change the course numbers to 401, 402, 403 & 404, 405, 406, respectively. These courses are currently being taught and are listed in the Undergraduate Catalog. This change will modify the DARs to reflect the Health Education major records. The 2000 course bulletin currently reflects this name and description change.

Total Credit Hours 32 SCHOOL OF TECHNOLOGY: Industrial & Mechanical Technology Industrial Technology Major Approved by CAAC on 10/30/00 (8-0-0) Approved by Faculty Senate Executive Committee 3/13/01 (7-1-1) Approved by Faculty Senate 3/29/01 (29-0-4) Executive Summary: The title �General� is perceived negatively by many students and many employers. Dropping the �General� would bring the program title in line with the A.S. in Industrial Technology and the M.S. in Industrial Technology and also the B.S. in Industrial Supervision which recently dropped its �General� label. Objectives: The purpose of the current General Industrial Technology program is to allow a person to earn a BS in Industrial Technology within a reasonable time when the student has already earned approximately one-half of a BS degree at another institution or another major area within ISU. The program change would have the same purpose. The changes are aimed at better fulfilling a mission of degree completion by providing clearer wording and more cohesive, accreditable program. The named degree program (e.g. construction and packaging) in the school, each have a specific technical and/or managerial focus that provide an in-depth preparation in one technical area and a minimum comprehensive background in general technology. The (General) Industrial Technology degree provides a very good comprehensive preparation in industrial technology and an adequate (equivalent to a minor) technical concentration. Other results of the proposed changes include the following:

1. Current problems would be rectified (see Rationale), most notably: the program would meet NAIT accreditation curriculum foundation guidelines, provide more course work in the major by the School of Technology, and the second two years of the program would be more easily offered at a distance.

2. The program would require 24 credit hours to be taken from the School of Technology, 12 of which must be taken in the IMT Department.

3. The program would still be very transfer friendly, allowing most A.S. or A.S.S. degrees (technology and others) to transfer most, if not all, of their hours toward this major.


UNDERGRADUATE APPROVALS � Program Revisions � IMT � Industrial Technology Major: continued

4. Given the student took the first 2 years of the program at a two-year school, approximately 90% (depending on electives) of the remaining two years could be offered at a distance.

Clientale: The purpose of the revision is to strengthen the program and make it more attractive to students. It is expected that the majority of students in the program will be transfer students. The first two years of the program would closely mirror both the School of Technology�s A.S. in Industrial Technology and the proposed Ivy Tech A.S. in Industrial Technology. Graduates from this program will be well suited for flexible and comprehensive entry-level careers in technical management, but could also obtain a more technically focused position due to their 18-hour technical concentration. Rationale:

1. The existing program does not provide a �general� preparation in technology (e.g., no electronics is required), does not fit the National Association of Industrial Technology accreditation model and is not accredited.

2. The great flexibility in the existing program leads to great confusion. For example, there are six curriculum categories with a variable range of credit hours required, i.e., design courses 4-5, lab specialization 11-12, science 4-8, directed electives 3-9, additional general education to complete university requirements 31-38, and general electives to complete 124 hours.

3. While most A.S. and A.A.S degrees (technology related & otherwise) can easily articulate on a course-by-course basis with the current GIT degree, program-to-program (2+2) articulation for distance delivery is not possible with any current IVY Tech two-year degree.

4. The GIT is a Degree-Link distance education approved program. Due to the low number of required courses, the low number of required upper division courses, the fact that lower division schools teach the lower division courses, and the School of Technology primarily teaches upper division courses at a distance, students in the program can graduate with the ISU technology B.S. degree and take as little as 6 hours from the School of Technology and zero hours from the department offering the degree.

5. The proposed changes will add structure and clarity to the program. The changes will also improve the validity and quality of the program from an employer�s perspective. The aforementioned in turn will improve the attractiveness of the program to students.

6. The program changes are a direct contribution to the University�s strategic goal #3. Service to the New Clienteles. It is expected that the majority of students, will be transfer students who bring in a technical specialization from an associate degree-

GRADUATE PROGRAM REVISIONS

COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES: Music Master of Music Executive Summary:

Add a sentence that was omitted when the change was made for the areas of specializations in music theory, music composition, and music history and literature to be Master of Music degrees rather than Master of Arts degrees. Rationale: The music accrediting agency, National Association of Schools of Music (NASM), requires that all music graduate programs include ensemble study. Because some of our students pursue MME degrees in summers only and there is no ensemble available in the summer, we were able to amend the requirement (and still receive accreditation) to read �at least 2 hours of ensemble and/or applied lessons.� This has been part of the requirement for the Master of Arts degree for many years. It was not part of the Master of Music requirement, which was only a performance degree and already required ensemble study as part of the major. Last year when we changed all Master of Arts degrees to Master of Music degrees, this statement was inadvertently omitted from the submitted catalog copy. When the copy for the new graduate catalog was received in December, we noticed the missing phrase. We would like the phrase to appear in the catalog copy, since it appears on the curricular sheets which we give to graduate students. OLD CATALOG COPY Master of Music (32 semester hours minimum) Research: 609--3 hrs. or other research course as approved by the Department of Music.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION: Curriculum, Instruction, & Media Technology Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction Executive Summary: The present Ph.D. program in Curriculum and Instruction has five approved areas for which a student may secure a specialization: English, History, Instructional Technology Education, Media Technology, and Secondary Education. Approval is sought to add two additional Areas of Specialization in Early Childhood Education and Elementary Education to the existing Ph.D. Program in Curriculum and Instruction. The Area of Specialization will


GRADUATE APPROVALS � Program Revisions � CIMT � Ph.D. in Curriculum & Instruction: continued include 21 to 30 hours drawn form early childhood education courses and/or elementary education courses approved by the applicant�s committee. Applicants for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Curriculum and Instruction with Specialization in Early Childhood Education or Elementary Education are expected to complete all requirements listed in the graduate catalog. Rationale: The Department of Elementary and Early Childhood Education does not currently have a doctoral program in Elementary Education or Early Childhood Education. There exists a national need for faculty with Ph.D.�s in Elementary Education and Early Childhood Education, and a great number of national searches fail each year for a lack of applicants. A major in Curriculum and Instruction with a specialization in these areas will increase the marketability of the program in attracting students, as well as increase the marketability of graduates from these two specializations. There is a growing interest regionally in persons who would like to see a doctorate with these specializations. The additional specializations will allow the Departments of Elementary and Early Childhood Education and Curriculum, Instruction, and Media Technology to combine resources effectively for the benefit of students. The two departments have comparable programs; the specializations in Curriculum and Instruction will make the most effective use of university resources. Adding the specializations to the existing Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction will enable the department to attract students who are interested in pursuing either an early childhood degree and/or a Curriculum and Instruction degree.

SCHOOL OF EDUCATION: Elementary and Early Childhood Education Master of Education – Literacy – Elementary Executive Summary: The new Masters of Education � Literacy at Indiana State University is an innovative state-of-the-art- masters program for elementary school teachers. It is designed to prepare teachers for National Board Certification. The program emphasizes the core propositions of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards: Core Propositions: Proposition 1: Teachers are committed to students and their learning. Teachers recognize individual differences in their students and adjust their practice accordingly. Teachers have an understanding of how students develop and learn. Teachers treat students equitably. Teachers� mission extends beyond developing the cognitive capacity of their students (the development of character, aspiration and civic virtues).


GRADUATE APPROVALS � Program Revisions � Elementary & Early Childhood Education � Master of Education � Literacy - Elementary: continued Proposition 2: Teachers know the subjects they teach and how to teach those subjects to students. Teachers appreciate how knowledge in their subjects is created, organized, and linked to other disciplines. Teachers command specialized knowledge of how to convey a subject to students. Teachers generate multiple paths to knowledge. Proposition 3: Teachers are responsible for managing and monitoring student learning. Teachers call on multiple methods to meet their goals. Teachers orchestrate learning in group settings. Teachers place a premium on student engagement. Teachers regularly assess student progress. Teachers are mindful of their principle objectives. Proposition 4: Teachers think systematically about their practice and learn from experience. Teachers are continually making difficult choices that test their judgment. Teachers seek the advice of others and draw on education research and scholarship to improve their practice. Proposition 5: Teachers are members of learning communities. Teachers contribute to school effectiveness by collaborating with other professionals. Teachers work collaboratively with parents. Teachers take advantage of community resources. Courses titles and descriptions have been changed to reflect new program emphasis in research, standards, technology, and teaching for diversity. Some courses will be developed combining on-site and distance delivery. Rationale: In order to keep pace with current market demands, competition from other universities, changing models of literacy, and recent research, we have updated the course descriptions to reflect the current emphases. Changes have been made in the coursework we now offer, reflecting the movement toward performance standards and assessment. We believe that a conceptual framework for professional development should be based on sound ideas about teaching, learning, and professionalism. Experts in the field, such as Alan Tom (1999) who commented on the moribund state of Masters degree programs all over the country (Journal of Teacher Education, 50, 4: 245-254), subscribe to three �markers� in Masters programs: 1) teaching as an on-going, self-improvement (inquiry, analysis, and democratic thinking), 2) teaching as collegial work (cohorts, teams, group- and self-reflection), and 3) a focus on student learning (adherence to KNITS propositions). Our revisions address and embrace these markers. The courses offered in this Program are designed to address the core propositions and principles outlined by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Application for the program by January 1, 2001 will ensure consideration for the initial cohort group that will begin the program in Fall of 2001. Adherence to the course of studies outlined below will ensure completion of the �Master of Education � Literacy� in 18 months. All courses include diversity, action, research, and technology components. We view this program revision as job embedded staff development that emphasizes curriculum analysis and student learning.
